DCMT070208-FP4 WPP10G indexable turning insert for steel, Tiger·tec Gold, 7° clearance — Walter Tools

A DCMT070208-FP4 WPP10G insert optimised for turning steel components, offering a rhombic 55° geometry and a Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide grade for high process reliability

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• Precision rhombic 55° geometry for stable cutting
• FP4 chipbreaker for consistent chip control
• 7° clearance with 0.8 mm corner radius for finish

Consistent productivity thanks to advanced coating and grade

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WPP10G coated carbide grade delivers a robust balance between wear resistance and toughness. Designed for steel turning (material group P), this insert sustains thermal loads typical of steel machining while maintaining a stable cutting edge. The result is reduced tool-change frequency and more predictable machine uptime, which supports higher overall productivity in batch and continuous production environments.

Geometry that stabilises the cut and improves surface finish

The rhombic 55° insert form, paired with a corner radius of 0.8 mm and 7° clearance, optimises contact conditions between tool and workpiece. The acute geometry enables secure entry into interrupted or profiled cuts while the defined corner radius helps to dampen vibration and improve surface integrity. For engineers assessing process windows, this geometry narrows variance in cutting forces and aids repeatable dimensional outcomes on turned components.

Chip control tailored for steels with the FP4 breaker

The FP4 chipbreaker is engineered to produce short, controllable chips when machining unalloyed and alloyed steels. By influencing chip curl and breakage close to the cutting zone, the design lowers the risk of chip entanglement and tool damage. In practical terms, better chip control contributes to safer automatic loading, less manual clearing, and more reliable cycle times — a key benefit for automated turning centres and lights-out operations.

Application guidance and process security

The insert is specified in tolerance class M with a plate thickness code 02 and size code 07, making it suitable for standard toolholders that accept DCMT 07 inserts. The combination of grade, coating and breaker makes it particularly effective where a balance between wear resistance and fracture toughness is required, for example medium to high machining speeds when working steels. For critical components, pairing the insert with optimised feeds and speeds will extend life while preserving surface quality.
